Screego is a screen sharing tool built specifically for developers who need to show code to other people over the internet. The author created it after frustrating experiences with corporate chat tools like Microsoft Teams, where screen sharing either lagged badly or showed code at such low resolution that colleagues could not read it. Screego solves that by providing high-quality, low-latency screen sharing without any of the extras you get in full video conferencing software.

The tool is intentionally minimal. It does one thing: share your screen. There is no chat, no video calls, no file transfers. Multiple people can share their screens in the same session, which the project calls multi-user screenshare. The underlying technology is WebRTC, which browsers already support for peer-to-peer media connections, and Screego includes its own TURN server to handle situations where direct peer-to-peer connections are blocked by firewalls or routers.

Installing Screego is straightforward. You can run it as a single binary file, or you can use Docker, which packages the software and its dependencies so it runs the same way on any machine. Because you host it yourself on your own server, your screen data never passes through a third-party company's infrastructure, which the project highlights as a privacy benefit.

This project is aimed at developers and teams who already have some way to talk to each other (voice call, chat) but need a dedicated, reliable way to share a code editor or terminal without the quality problems that plague general-purpose video conferencing tools. It is not a standalone meeting platform and is not designed to replace tools that handle audio or messaging.
